Coming Next... The Plus and Minus of Blown Stretch Film
Footnote: The list of resins used in stretch film as given above is not exhaustive. Within each
catagory of resins, such as LLDPE Hexene for example, there may be a wide variety of resins
produced to give a different set of characteristics to the stretch film final product. Just as
you have eaten vegetable soup made my different cooks and they all taste different, it is kind
of like that with resin. A number of LLDPE Hexene resins share the same general name, but
they don't necessary taste the same in the finished stretch film. They may contain additives
of various types to enhance processing etc that have some effect on the finished product.
